Halloween 2011

It is only 2 weeks after Halloween, so I am not doing as badly as I would have thought.

We spent Halloween with the Townsends as usual.

We started with a pizza dinner.

The "big kids" table

Gigi and Bennett eating on the floor. You can see Bennett wasn't happy about it:)

Bennett riding Bear's car Carly was Belle, Ellison was Super Girl, Joiner was Rapunzel, and Ethan was Iron Man.
I love this one with Ethan and Andy peeking in the door as he got there late from work.

Bennett the lion. If you asked him what a lion says, he would roar! He also kept that hood on all night. He loves a hat!

Bear getting strapped into his trick or treat car. As the big kids were getting ready to get their things, Bennett grabbed a lost bucket and got in line. That was it. He got trick-or-treating right away. He had to give the bucket back to the owner and grab his Elmo bucket and then he ran as fast as he could behind the others.

Here they are at the first house. You can see him dragging Gigi up the stairs. The big ones could hardly contain their excitement.
Dragging Gigi to the next house
Waiting for other houses to turn on their lights!
Trying not to be left behind!

He had no chance because this crew was running!



I think Carly and Joiner just realized last year that the point of going out was for candy. Bennett reached in after the first house and was gnawing on something. We all thought it was safe because it was wrapped. Fast forward a minute or so later and he was covered in chocolate. We learned our lesson:)



Bennett went to this house all alone. He wasn't about to miss one!

After it got dark and really cold, we all came back to take a look at the loot! They each got to pick a few pieces. You can see Carly is really happy about it! After enjoying the candy for a few days, we took it to the dentist and sold it. They each got $3 for their American Girl Doll fund.
I realized when we got home that I didn't get a picture of mine together, so here they are.
